Top Bet For Today
Race 5: SAY YES (2)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
SAY YES was not disgraced when facing male company in her last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. She won her only attempt on this course. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is back against her own sex and on best form shown, she should be the one to beat.
Race 7: SAN SIMON (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Janse va Vuuren
SAN SIMON took on stronger in his last start over this C&D. His penultimate run when second over 1160m at Turffontein catches the eye. The son of Querari takes a drop-in class and from pole position, he can return to winning ways.
Race 8: CELTIC RUMOURS (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Tarry
CELTIC RUMOURS is better than her last start in the Non-Black Type WSB Grand Heritage as she was reported to be distressed. She returns from a 10-week break which may have done her the world of good. The daughter of Vercingetorix is unbeaten from two starts over this distance and she can keep that record intact.
Race 9: MIGHTY GODDESS (2)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: W Marwing
MIGHTY GODDESS is a winner of her last two starts. She raced from a handy position last time, quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. The blinkers have done the trick on the daughter of Flying The Flag. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, she can notch up the hat-trick.
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: LIDL MISS SUNSHINE (8) (Each Way)
Jockey: K Brewer – Trainer: H Adamson
LIDL MISS SUNSHINE finished 0.2 lengths behind GILDA GRAY last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has won once, finished second once and third twice from seven starts on this course. The daughter of Silvano has cracked a good draw of two and she can return to winning ways.
